Project task

A young family with a child — owners of a 98 m² apartment in a new building — came to us. The main goal: to transform a standard two-room flat with an inconvenient layout into a comfortable Euro-3 apartment with a spacious kitchen-living room, a master bedroom, a children’s room, and a walk-in wardrobe.

Analysis of the original layout

We identified the following key drawbacks:

• A complicated, dark corridor in the center of the apartment.
• A small kitchen (12.1 m²), unsuitable for family gatherings.
• A potential living room (19.4 m²) located far from the kitchen and separated by a long corridor.
• No separate children’s room.

New layout solution

• We combined the kitchen, one of the rooms, and the corridor into a unified kitchen-dining-living space.
• The kitchen niche was moved into the “wet zone” of the former corridor, and the old kitchen space was turned into a TV area.
• The large room was divided into a master bedroom and a children’s room.

After the redesign

• Kitchen-dining-living area: the unified space was divided into a kitchen-dining (22.57 m²) with an island and dining group, and a TV zone (10.63 m²) separated by a sliding ribbed-glass partition.
• Master bedroom 22.91 m²: with a built-in storage system and a workspace by the window.
• Children’s room 19.22 m²: a full-fledged room with a study area, built-in furniture, and its own balcony (1.56 m²).
• Walk-in wardrobe 4.42 m²: with direct access from the hallway.
• Hallway 6.16 m²: with a compact closet for outerwear.
• Bathrooms: the main one (6.38 m²) includes a laundry area, and the second (2.3 m²) is fitted with a shower.

Interior design

The apartment’s style combines neoclassicism and modern minimalism.

• Color palette: light tones — beige, sandy, and creamy shades, contrasted by white marble and warm wood.
• Textures: marble panels, wood, ribbed glass, and vertical wall panels add depth and dynamics.
• Zoning: the kitchen, dining, and living areas form a single space that can easily be separated if needed.

Furniture and materials

• Kitchen: lower cabinets in light matte finish, upper cabinets in warm wood, with built-in appliances.
• Island: multifunctional, with a wooden countertop.
• Dining area: rectangular table with chairs in two colors (mint and beige).
• Living room: sofa and TV wall with marble finish and an illuminated shelving unit.

Lighting

• General: spotlights across the ceiling and LED strips in ceiling niches.
• Zonal: pendant lights above the island, an art-deco chandelier above the dining table.
• Decorative: accent lighting for cabinets, shelves, and marble panels.

Result

As a result of the redesign and interior project, a typical two-room apartment was transformed into a spacious, bright, and elegant Euro-3 home. The project demonstrates how modern functionality can be harmonized with neoclassical sophistication, creating a space that is both stylish and comfortable for living.
